Equine Performance and Rehabilitation Center (EPRC) Project

current projects

The EPRC Project would be an advanced hub for maintaining the health and fitness of performance and recreational horses. This new facility will consist of two new rehabilitation facilities, offering various services to serve patients of the VMTC and CEH, as well as private clients. The rehab facilities include an approximately 3,000 square foot treadmill pavilion to cover advanced equipment including an equine underwater treadmill, drying bay, and a vibration therapy plate and an approximately 2,000 square foot canopy for an open-air equiciser, a corral with horse walking equipment. A 1,250-square-foot open teaching pavilion is also proposed, which will allow for a formal space for classes and demonstrations. The project will also include some site improvements to the parking lot and the development of horse trailer driveway and parking. These facilities will provide the necessary support to develop an advanced training veterinary residency program in Equine Sports Medicine at UC Davis. Developing the EPRC is currently a top priority for the University of California, Davis School of Veterinary Medicine with the goal to institute a preventive approach to maintain equine health and performance.
